The Influence of Snowcover on the Ground Surface Temperature in Permafrost
Principal Investigator: Riseborough, Dan
Licensed Year(s): 2001 2000
Summary: This study will attempt to understand and predict how cold the ground surface gets in the winter under snow. Transportation to the site will be by helicopter and accommodation at the site will be in tents or at an existing cabin. Travel from camps to sample sites will be by foot. Electronic data recorders were installed in August 2000 to record air, ground and surface temperature through the wi...

Paleo-hydrology in the Arctic
Principal Investigator: CLARK, Ian D.
Licensed Year(s): 2000 1999
Summary: The objective of this project is to observe and collect rock specimens from limestone outcrop sites. These samples will be used to interpret groundwater flow systems that occurred in the Arctic in the past when the climate was much warmer. Several sites will be visited for the purpose of examining and collecting rock specimens along the Dempster highway south of Inuvik. Two day trips west of Akla...

Climate change and postglacial paleoenvironmental history of peatlands in the Mackenzie Delta area
Principal Investigator: Vardy, Sheila
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: This research is part of an international project that is aimed at documenting the history of changes in the treeline during the Holocene era. While much is known about the environment and climate of this era, little is known about the development of peatlands during this time. I will collect data on peat layering, pollen and fossils in order to determine how the peatlands developed during this ...

International Cryosol Tour
Principal Investigator: Tarnocai, C.
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: This tour and the associated meetings will focus on the genesis, classification and management of permafrost soils (Cryosols) and the possible effect of climate change on these soils....
